Chapter 577: Chapter 577: I’m Still Your Bodyguard!
Tang Lingmu gave a faint smile, downing the beer in his bottle, "I didn’t like his face, so I hit him."
"You’re really straightforward." Xi Wei handed Tang Lingmu another beer, "No matter why you hit him, I actually really admire you. You hit people, I support you."
Over the past few months of filming, Xi Wei had come to understand Tang Lingmu well.
Tang Lingmu was direct in speech, generous in character, loyal, and very caring.
Plus, he’s truly a good actor, seeking perfection in every scene.
Xi Wei had learned a lot from him.
She was 100% sure that Tang Lingmu had encountered something unbearable at that time.
That fight may have relieved his anger momentarily, but his career future was more or less ruined.
"Come on, cheers."
Xi Wei picked up her beer and clinked it with Tang Lingmu’s.
"Actually, I quite admire you too." Tang Lingmu said.
"What’s there to admire about me?" Xi Wei said, "If it wasn’t for Haoxue giving me this opportunity, I’d still be at home mooching off my parents."
"Being able to mooch off your parents is a birth skill." Tang Lingmu said, "It’s something many people envy but can’t achieve."
Xi Wei: "..."
With those words, she wasn’t sure if it was a compliment or not.
"And, even though you went through a breakup, your ability to adjust yourself is good, unlike her..."
Tang Lingmu said, shaking his head.
"Her (him)?" Xi Wei guessed, "So ’she’ is a girl?"
Tang Lingmu nodded.
"So it seems, the fight you got into at the award ceremony was over a woman, huh." Xi Wei patted Tang Lingmu on the shoulder, "Here’s to you, the lovesick fool."
"You’re thinking too much and imagining too much." Tang Lingmu laughed, "Things aren’t like what you think, and I’m not some lovesick fool."
"Saying it like that makes me even more curious." Being quite familiar with Tang Lingmu, Xi Wei directly asked, "Can you tell me? Satisfy the gossiping girl’s heart?"
"There’s nothing I can’t say..." Tang Lingmu put down his beer and looked up at the stars, just about to start talking.
Xi Wei’s phone rang,
Seeing the caller ID was Li, Xi Wei immediately hung up.
However, in just a few seconds, her phone rang again.
"Your boyfriend?" Tang Lingmu said, "Why not pick up? It looks like you can’t let go of him either.
Really can’t understand what’s going on in the minds of you people in love."
"He’s not my boyfriend."
The phone kept ringing incessantly, and eventually, Xi Wei picked it up.
Not picking up would only make her look like she couldn’t let go...
"What is it?" Xi Wei’s tone wasn’t pleasant.
"Zhuang Yan’s 50th birthday is coming up in a few days. He invited your father but your father is currently abroad and can’t make it. Since you’re in G City, you can go on behalf of your father, and I’ll come to pick you up."
"No need." Xi Wei said, "I can go by myself, it’s not like I haven’t been to the Zhuang Family before."
"This is your father’s instruction; I’m just following his arrangements." Li Mingmo said, "I haven’t signed the papers; I’m still your bodyguard, in charge of your safety."
"You..." Xi Wei fumed, momentarily at a loss for words, "Do as you please, follow if you like!
Suddenly, Xi Wei seemed to think of something and said, "But, are you sure you want to go? Uncle Zhuang’s 50th birthday, Sister Xiaoning will definitely be there too..."
